Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dear Pippa, Please do keep in touch. There is more to all of us than our Achalasia or Hiatus Hernia. You have become part of this Group now and I for one am very interested to know how you go on with this. It sounds like a big thing to have to go through but the good part is that this surgery could be the end of your problems. Is that what you have been told? Or haven't you got to that stage yet? I am glad you have been given all that time off work. That is one less thing to think about and you need all your energy for getting by, when you are unable to eat properly. Good luck for the 29th.

I have made many new friends (, Steve, Doreen, Ann, Kathleen, and Norten to name but a few) and would love to keep in contact with you all.Take carePippa All new "The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use." - PC Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
